"I found this recipe on the back of some generic-brand bread crumbs a long time ago, and with some generous tweaking (including replacing the breadcrumbs with healthier oatmeal) it has become my favorite meatloaf recipe. I've made this with ground beef and ground chicken, so you don't have to use ground turkey if you'd prefer not to. As you can tell from the ingredients, this is going to be spicy, so be warned!"

This is a nice and flavorful meatloaf! Pretty spicy which is great for us - we love a little heat :) DH thought this was great; I loved the taste but thought the texture was a little off and I may use less oatmeal next time. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
